It would be great if it would interface the disk drive to the cores, but this is not loading the game from a disk but using the disk drive to tell the MiSTer which core and game to start from its regular storage.

What is next? Starting a game with a rotary phone? In the end it is again and again the same tapto gimmick, with another device emulating the NFC reader.

I'm not sure if the SNAC interface could support something like a 34 pin floppy drive without major changes to the cores themselves.

Now the rotary phone idea...
